Ticking sound Options

Ok someone please help me I'm at a loss here. Pretty much every time I start my car it makes a rattling noise, also when I get up to about 3000rpm it makes the same noise until I shift or left off the gas and let the R's go down a bit. Anyone else have or had this problem and know what it might be? I pulled the valve cover to see if my valves are adjustable...they are not. I have the 1.8L 7AFE motor. Please anything would be appreciated. I have to get this motor to last at leaset until tax time so I can get my 3SGTE...

keep in mind, hp isnt everything. what gets you going? torque. all turbo setups work well because its added torque not just hp. the 4a's were designed for corrolas, meaning a lighter car. most people who do 4a swaps do it for the endless upgrading and a high rev platform to work with. others who do it and leave it regret it. it literally is slower then a 7a in a 6gc. drove a friends car will one and it wouldnt go unless it was up at 6k.

Hmm that's good to know. I have a friend who is determined to do a 1uz or yz something like that in the car...is that possible?

Only if you make it a rear wheel drive. The 1uz is a 4 liter V8, I once took the measurements to fit one to the existing FWD transmission, and determined it would be 12 inches wider than the engine bay and would most likely drag on the ground under the car. It has been swapped into a celica as a Rear Wheel Drive though.

The 1mz-fe will fit of course, its a 3.0 liter V6. You would have to swap in a GT transmission and motormounts though, as it shares the same bolt patterns as the 5SFE and 3SGTE

In my honest opinon... I dont see the point in the 1uz swap! All in all it depends what you are looking for and how much you are willing to spend. I recommended the 4a being that its a cheap/feasible/direct drop in swap. Now if you want performance and also daily drivability i would say 3sgte all the way!
